Cold, bright and lemony summer desserts are always refreshing enough to combat the syrupy heat of the season. Fortunately, this lemon pudding ticks off every box. Real lemon juice and lemon zest bring their sunshiny hue and tart taste to a creamy pudding that’s best served straight out of the fridge. Just before digging in, dress up each serving with a cloud of whipped cream, lemon slices and fresh mint.

The fresh, sweet flavor of strawberry cream cheese frosting pairs beautifully with any number of cake flavors, from simple sheet cakes to show-stopping layered cakes. The ingredients are inexpensive and easy to keep on hand for whenever you want to make a special strawberry treat. We love cream cheese frosting because it lends a little extra decadence to any cake. It’s sweet, but less so than typical buttercreams.

If you’re searching for a perfect everyday flapjack that’s also good for you, look no further than this whole wheat pancake recipe. These whole wheat pancakes are made entirely with whole wheat flour, which contains more fiber, vitamins and minerals than all-purpose flour—a big deal if you’re trying to eat more nutrient-dense foods. Healthier whole wheat swaps often get a bad rap for being bland, but whole wheat pancakes are anything but boring.

Homemade pretzel buns just may be your ticket to throwing the summer’s best cookout. Where a regular hamburger bun is seen merely as a vessel for a patty and all the toppings, pretzel buns offer a fresh take and a flavorful experience. Here, a pretzel’s deep mahogany hue, signature chew and salty topping meet a hamburger bun’s rounded shape and squashy texture. Treat pretzel buns just as you would hamburger buns: Leave them soft and bouncy, or butter and toast them for extra flavor.

I’m not much of a morning person, so make-ahead meals are always a welcome addition to my breakfast rotation. Even better? No-cook breakfast recipes, like these blueberry overnight oats. They take just a few minutes to prepare—it’s as simple as measuring and mixing a few ingredients—then all the magic happens overnight in the fridge. By morning, a fruity, filling grab-and-go breakfast is ready and waiting.

Some people write off fruit salad as nothing more than a bowl of mixed fruit, but there is an art to blending the right combination of different sizes, shapes, flavors and textures to create the perfect bite of fruit salad. When I was younger, the ideal fruit salad was crafted by balling three different kinds of melon and tossing it with enough sugar to create a thick syrup.

When I moved to New York, my sandwich exposure boomed. I had party Italian subs at gatherings, omelet-filled bagels and huge pastrami sandwiches. There was a world of deli offerings in the Northeast, one key example being the hero, hoagie or grinder sandwich. Different regions have different names for food, and I had to learn that the hot Italian sandwich I loved to order should be called a grinder—at least in New York and its vicinity.

There’s no finer spring or summertime dessert than a strawberry tres leches cake. The sweet and fruity cake features a soft sponge soaked with a sweetened milk mixture, plus fresh strawberries are added to the cake and the soak. It’s one of the best recipes with fresh strawberries (although we won’t tell if you use frozen). Our tres leches cake with strawberries uses tequila, but you can use white grape juice instead to keep it zero-proof.

Jutting off the coast of southern Alaska is the endlessly picturesque Kenai Peninsula. Dotted with quaint Alaskan towns, crossed by rivers filled with king salmon and boasting views of snow-capped mountains, it’s known as “Alaska’s Playground” for a reason. It’s here where, in a town just next to the city of Kenai, sits Echo Lake Meats, the food market credited with creating one of Alaska’s best recipes: Kenai dip. Alaskans love Kenai dip.

Mashed bananas are incorporated into a fluffy cinnamon roll dough, which is then filled with melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and cloves. Once the cinnamon rolls are baked and golden, they’re finished with a dreamy spiced cream cheese frosting.
